Zia is having really good time with his bowling, he is producing accurate line-length and swing at the right areas making the ball to talk. I hope he can even get better with his bowling on coming days. Seems like he can be our third seamer we were looking for long time.

The advantage that Ziaur has right now over our other pacers is that he's capable of getting some runs with the bat. If he can continue his performances with the ball he can put our other pacers under some real pressure. His real test will be how he can perform against the big boys.

In the context of the game it wasn't a bad performance. Rubel was getting smashed in that game.

Eh? I thought he came back well after the first two bad overs in the last match. So long as he keeps bowling like this, his place is secured as the 3rd seamer on helpful pitches and might even get a chance as a strike bowler down the road. But his batting has been disappointing. Even a quick 20-25 would have been enough to merit him a place at no. 8.
